    Man after my own heart. I find I can prone out much easier without extra stuff sticking down vertically from my rifle.

    I tried gangster grips for a bit thinking it would help with the mounted light, but ultimately, found I could just as easily use a light without extra stuff in the way. The little stubby VFGs feel just as weird.

    Not knocking the concept, but it doesn't work for me.

    If they want me to love it, they'll make the next version much grippier, and/or increase the angle. I had to stipple mine roughly, so my hand wouldn't glide off the back end when I pull the rifle into my shoulder for control.

    I am betting that Magpul will release an AFG that mounts directly the the MOE handguards, just like the MOE MVG, probably once the midlength and rifle handguards are out in circulation.
    I really like this setup. Have you ever had your hand heat up or melting issues on the AFG because of the tube?

    that tube is free float so as for the melting issue, shouldnt have it. Heat issue is a different story.

    I may have to get one of these. It looks like the angle is a bit steeper, though perhaps that is an optical illusion. The last nub on the AFG2 has deffinately been made much larger, and that will be a big help in keeping your hand from sliping off.

    Works well on an AK with Tapco's handguard too;
